Characteristics
1. Cold work tool steel with high dimensional stability at heat treatment.
2. Very high cracking resistance. High machinability, medium thoughness and wear resistance.
Heat Treatment
Annealing
680 to 720°C
Slow controlled cooling in furnace at a rate of 10 to 20°C/hr down to approx. 600°C, further cooling in air. Hardness af ter annealing: Max. 220 HB.
Hardening
790 to 820°C
Oil, salt bath (200 to 250°C) up to 20 mm thickness. Holding time after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes. Obtainable hardness: 63 - 65 HRC
Stress relieving
Approx. 650°C
Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or in complex shapes. After through heating, hold in neutral atmosphere for 1-2 hours.
Tempering
Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening/time in furnace 1 hour for each 20 mm of work piece thickness, but at least 2 hours/cooling in air.For certain cases we recommend to reduce tempering temperature and increase holdingtime.
